  1. , as usual, I’m pretty lame at blogging about what I do. I decided to break the silence ((on the blog; I barely shut up on Twitter)) because a couple of awesome things happened these final days of January. gnome-utils: after years of neglect, and due to a spectacular sugar …
  2. , if you need to store a Unix Time timestamp inside a GObject property, use an int64 as the property type. don’t use a GTimeVal, and above all: don’t even think about adding a GType for GTimeVal inside your own project. first of all, because all that you can …
  3. , Morten, it’s actually my fault. the patch that was submitted was the incorrect one; I’ve been fixing the implementation since then, mostly because the API is correct — and went through different eyeballs to ensure that — and we wanted to land it before the GLib freeze. the implementation, alas …
  4. , I’ve noticed that I haven’t blogged about JSON-GLib in a while. since the last time, I release version 0.10, which had a lot of fixes in the JSON ⬌ GObject transformation code, thanks to the contributions of Tristan Van Berkom. the 0.10 release allowed to transform …
  5. , since I’m stupid and I scheduled the team meeting before I could actually be in The Hague, I had to move the meeting. and, again, since I’m stupid I managed to schedule it against important talks of the day — and my own. so: the GTK+ team meeting has …

  7. , to continue the series about actions and constraints, here’s an example showing how to use the ClutterDragAction to create a scrolling container that pans the contents using dragging. we can start with the usual set up of the stage: clutter_init (&argc, &argv); stage = clutter_stage_new (); clutter_stage_set_title (CLUTTER_STAGE (stage), "Scrolling"); clutter_actor_set_size …
  8. , Doesn’t do much, right now
  9. , last time, I described the Effects in Clutter as anything that should affect the way an actor paints itself without sub-classing. this kind of modification of the behaviour of an Actor can also be applied to other areas, and leads to defining three different kinds of modifiers: Effects, which modify …
  10. , three years ago Neil and I wrote the Model API, to be included in Clutter. We tried encode in the design what we learned from the experience with GtkTreeModel, and while it could be said that there are shortcomings (a base class instead of an interface, no bulk operations, some …
